Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

<u>Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome.</u> These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and <u>most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions.</u> So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the <u>Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development</u>. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.

Your left wrist is what anatomical direction from your left elbow?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- distal

Explanation:

In anatomy, the anatomist defined the standard position and movement of the bones of the skeletal system by universal anatomical terminologies.

The directional position of the bones of arms and legs is represented by the proximal and distal plane.

The proximal direction represents the bone closest to the point of origin or reference while distal represents the bone closest to the farthest away from the reference.  Since the left wrist is farther from the reference or the elbow therefore, it is considered distal to the elbow.

Thus, distal is the correct answer.

What is cell surface to volume ratio and why is it important in cell functioning? Can it explain why cells are so small?
MrMuchimi
<span>The main reason surface area to volume ratio is important to a cell is because the surface area to volume ratio determines the rate at which cells uptake nutrients, liquids or gases. For instance, I have two organisms, A and B. Organism A has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1, whereas organism B has a surface area to volume ratio of 3:1. As organism A has a greater surface area to volume ratio, it means that organism A will be able to take up nutrients, liquids or gases via diffusion or osmosis at a greater rate than organism B, as it has more surface with which to exchange nutrients, liquids or gases. </span>

During El Niño, what do the unusual wind patterns move east?
ipn [44]

Answer: warm water

El Nino is a climate change pattern which describes the unusual warming of water of Pacific Ocean. The atmospheric pressure above the water decreases. The warm water increases the temperature of wind. The warm wind moves towards the East Equator.
